This article will be covering the main slate for NFL Week 7 beginning Sunday at 1:00pm. If you’re not familiar with this piece, it will be broken down into the following three sections: A cheat sheet with three tiers of players (each pricing tier based on DK positions/pricing), my favorite stacks to target and which players in said stacks I prefer, and lastly, my “Today’s Edge” section, which covers my edge play/fade of the slate (will update ~2 hours prior to lock), top touchdown picks, and the player I will have the most exposure to on the slate across all my lineups.
Cheatsheet:
Players to consider for your Week 7 NFL GPPs. This isn’t a list of every player I will have, but rather the top guys I am including in my stacks/core, whether it be as a matchup-based play, ownership-based play, or even a leverage play, they will all be included in this core list.
$ Tier | QB | RB | WR | TE | D/ST |
Top Tier | Pat Mahomes | Austin Ekeler | Cooper Kupp | Travis Kelce | Bills |
Top Tier | Lamar Jackson | Ken Walker | Davante Adams | Mark Andrews | Raiders |
Mid Tier | Matt Stafford | Aaron Jones | Amon-Ra St. Brown | Sam LaPorta | Browns |
Mid Tier | Jared Goff | Isiah Pacheco | Zay Flowers | David Njoku | Broncos |
Value Tier | Tyrod Taylor | Jerome Ford | Curtis Samuel/Kadarius Toney | Don Parham | Ravens |
Value Tier | Brian Hoyer | D’Onta Foreman | Wan’Dale Robinson | Trey McBride | Chiefs |
Stacks:
A common roster construction I like to use in large-field tournaments is stacking a quarterback with one or two of his skill position (RB, WR, TE) teammates and playing one or two guys from the opposition. I plan to attack Week 6 no differently.
- My top overall stack is the Lions at Ravens. With scoring down across the board this season and low totals all over the slate, this is my favorite game to fly under the radar to shoot out. Both teams are missing their starting running backs and will continue to struggle to establish the run, which should set up some fantasy goodness via the air. Both teams have fairly concentrated target distributions, making this a “don’t overthink it” type of game stack. Lamar is my preferred QB if choosing between the two, given his rushing upside. My preferred pairings is Mark Andrews, who is a massive discount off Kelce with similar upside. Zay Flowers is next up, as he’s commanded a strong 30% target share to open the season. On the Lions’ side, look no further than WR1, Amon-Ra St. Brown, who you can lock in for 100 and/or a TD every time out. With the return of Jameson Williams to stretch the field deep, ASB will have ample space to carve up the Ravens underneath. Another beneficiary is Sam LaPorta, should the Ravens’ top cover safety, Marcus Williams (hammy), miss, it’s a significant matchup upgrade for him to exploit.
- Other Stacks To Consider:
- Chiefs – Mahomes: Kelce / Toney / Rice / Pacheco
- Rams – Stafford: Kupp / Tutu
- Giants – Taylor: Robinson / Slayton / Hyatt / Barkley
